"Hey, you done packing?" Hector walked into herroom. "Seth and I were just talking to your parents. I think he's still down there." He chuckled. She smiled sadly and continued to throw in clothes until Rory was sure it was full. "Are you okay, Aurora? I know that tweet broke your heart, but can you just pretend for a few days? Once we get back I promise you can break up with him."

"Yeah.. I can manage." Smiling genuinely this time, Hector gave her a bear hug and also helped her zip up the suitcase. "I have to act like I didn't see that tweet until we get back." She joked. "Can't believe it had to end like this.."

"Listen, you will find so many other guys out there, I'm sure of it. Stay single for a while and keep your options open, that's the best advice I can give you." He took her suitcase. "Shall we go?"

"We shall." She sighed happily.

The flight was going to be a pain in her ass, and they hadn't even got on the plane yet.

She was, with no doubt, sitting next to Seth, and that alone wanted to make her run back home all the way from Chicago O'Hare and just bury her head in her pillow and cry. Rory couldn't stand him anymore.

She was currently texting in her group chat with Damon, Holly, Ian, and Dana while the plane soared through the sky, Seth sleeping soundly next to her.

See, Damon had gone to Cali yesterday, which meant he was waiting for his team over there. She should have just went with him, honestly, and saved herself the arrangement with Seth, but she had to act like she wanted to go with him. I mean they were dating after all.

Rory could just not wait to break up with him.

"Liss, I have to get ready." Matt sighed, trying to get away from her iron grip. He had been seeing this girl for a few days now and tomorrow he was leaving for California to play in the upcoming Stage 2 Playoffs these next few days, and he HAD to pack. Like, now.

"Stay in bed," She groaned, trying to pull him back. Matt pushed her arms away and sat with his back facing her. "What's your problem?"

The problem was that Matt was not feeling her as much as she was feeling him. Like, really. She was already hella attached and he was just starting to get comfortable. "It's nothing, I just have to get packing."

"Aww," Liss sat up. "Want me to help you?"

"Nah, it's fine, you can go back to bed."

"Alright."

Nothing was actually 'fine'.
